TF2

When mentioning Plants vs Zombies, gamers don’t immediately think of third-person shooter. They may flash to the tower defense game on PC or the free-to-play sequel on iPad. But something akin to Team Fortress 2? That requires an unexpected leap. It’s a move out of left field like Quentin Tarantino deciding to do a Victorian romantic comedy.

But Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare exists, and from what I played, the TF2-esque game works. In the multiplayer mode, the shooter puts players on one of two teams — Plants or Zombies — and each side has four core classes to choose from with several variants.
